Asbestos and Mesothelioma

Asbestos and Mesothelioma Overview

Malignant Mesothelioma is an aggressive devastating cancer that forms in the thin layer of tissues around major organs in the body. Pleural Mesothelioma is the most common type of cancer that forms around the lungs. Asbestos fibers are tiny fibers but when inhaled this exposure is strongly linked to Pleural Mesothelioma. Depending on the type of Mesothelioma and stage, treatment could include chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Extensive hospital stays and extreme suffering are associated with this diagnosis, with unfortunate prognosis.

Occupations and other Exposure Risks

While construction workers, mechanics, electricians, military employees and shipyard workers have a great risk of developing Mesotheliomas from Asbestos exposure, anyone exposed is at risk. Exposure in other professions is possible since asbestos was frequently used in insulation, plumbing, flooring, and roofing prior to 1980’s. Asbestos is found in older buildings and houses where it has not been removed. Asbestos has also been found in talc-based products including baby powder and other cosmetics.
